    At first it sounds like a helluva coin toss but in the end you end up with a stiff.

      Yes, but our insurance won’t cover it and calling or visiting a site to a inquire will cost $5500.

    It’ll reopen after “comprehensive cleaning and disinfecting” in about a week… That’s pretty quick for rebuilding a burnt down supermarket.

    Though in all seriousness, I can’t tell if the evacuation was an overreaction or if the decision to reopen after just cleaning and disinfecting is sweeping this under the rug. Seems to me like either they should have just warned customers there was a very venomous spider somewhere on the loose or made sure they caught/killed the spider before reopening. It’s like they are treating a spider like covid back when we didn’t understand how it transmitted.

    Unless they are leaving the “we filled the supermarket with deadly poison to kill it” part out, which then makes the cleaning before reopening make sense.

    By the time the fire brigade arrived at the store, the spider was nowhere to be seen, local media reported.

    The fire brigade. I imagine them busting in. “Nobody move! It’s possible you may get an erection!”
